“The new VersaVue Enterprise solution will improve workflow and flexibility to aid clinical decision making and treatment for patients, with an ultimate goal of delivering improved patient care,” said Ken Ferry, President and CEO of iCAD.

This solution will be a second generation system that will take advantage of the MR scanners gradient fields along with an innovative biopsy needle positioning device that is designed to provide radiologists with easier patient set-up, reduce the number of scans to identify and calculate target coordinates and reduce the total patient time in the magnet. The MRI guided solution is a works in progress project.

MR TRUS Fusion for Prostate Biopsy

The current TRUS procedure has limitations in target hit rate and accuracy. This next generation solution will improve target hit rate and accuracy, color coding significant tracks by Gleason scores and storing those tracks to compare for repeat biopsies particularly important for patients under active surveillance. The system uses a unique organ based tracking technology using 3D end-fire ultrasound probe and elastic Fusion technology to fuse MR with US images. MR TRUS Fusion is a solution that has product compatibility with the VersaVue Enterprise MR solution. With VersaVue Enterprise 3.2.1 release there will be expanded features that will be compatible with the MR TRUS Fusion solution.

Additionally, iCAD’s workstation was used to process the MR images used in a neuroradiology study that examined brain meningiomas. A scientific paper presenting the study’s findings titled, “Intracranial Tumor Extravascular Extracellular Space: Examining the Correlation Between ADC and DCE MRI Metrics in Human Meningioma,” were presented at RSNA.

iCAD also showcased its next generation computer-aided detection (CAD) system for digital mammography, the PowerLook Advanced Mammography Platform (AMP). The modular design of PowerLook AMP provides radiologists with the ability to customize their CAD solution to meet the needs of their individual work environment today and in the future. The technology expands on iCAD’s SecondLook Digital solution and is the CAD platform upon which all future breast imaging CAD offerings from iCAD will be built. PowerLook AMP’s CAD metrics offer industry-leading tissue and lesion characteristics to support the breast imager’s workflow. In addition, PowerLook AMP is the first product of its kind to integrate M?takina’s Volpara Volumetric Breast Density assessment software that aids radiologists by standardizing their approach to breast density assessment.
